$ whoami
I'm Daniel, from Brazil. I design and build software for humans and machines. If you need a label, UX engineer works.
I've been building software professionally since 2021. I run Purpose Before Motion, a software & design studio. There you can see our work and hire us.
$ cat principles
- Fewer features, done properly.
- Plain, robust technology over trends.
- Speed and accessibility are requirements, not polish.
- LLM workflows with human accountability and taste.
$ head history
I've been drawn to computers since I was a kid. My first was a Pentium 100 with 4 MB of RAM. I know that because Age of Empires II needed 8 and I couldn't play it.
I started using Linux as a teenager and broke my system often. The internet and the pain of an unbootable machine were my teachers. My first real programming was fixing small bugs and recompiling programs to make them faster.
$ man posixtronic
Posix plus positronic. POSIX is a family of standards from the late 1980s, and most modern systems still follow it at least in part. Positronic comes from Asimov, whose robots had positronic brains.
